lar December day, give US blizzard
from of Bamn's bay, give US, no mat
ter though charges be steep, anything
that will cool US and lull US to sleep
Backward, far backward, o Time. take
us now! We are 30 tired of hopping
our brow: tired of whiting our collars
and cuff. tired of hearing, It's it hot
enough?" Tired Of hunting the shade
all day, tired of sweating our souls
away. So take US far back. where the
winter winds sweep, and see if they'll
cool US and lull US to sleep. We are
tiled of hiring an ice chest each
day, to save us from melting
and running away. We are tired
of pouring ourselves In a mould
to keep rs in shape till the weather
grows cold. We are tired of the seedy
old hotweather gags that we hear every
day from the wOuld-be ways. So Time,
let the winter winds over US creep, and
see If their kisses wont lure us to sleep.
We've been a good friend of yours,
Father Time, dear. You've had your
own way for this many a year. You
have come and passed by at your own
sweet will, tho sometimes we've
wished we could make you stand still. J
So we think you might do US the favor
to night, to turn backward month
or two in your Highland send, while
the planets their watch DER US keep, a
frigid nor'wester to luil us to sleep.
While the Camp Meeting to be held
in Freeman's Grove in September will
be Methodist in name, Rev. johnson
informs US that Christians of all de-
nominations will be made heartily
welcome, the aim of those having it in
charge being to conduct it i'm such a
manner that UNCONVENTIONAL lines will
be lost sight of, and the object in view
alone considered. This is certainly
the proper spirit and the REGISTER
hopes and believes that the other
Churches of the city will cordially re-
spOnd to the invitation that will be
extended to them in due time, and
join heartily in the good work. The
Ottawa Assembly is the out-growth of
a Methodist Camp Meeting no larger
and no more widely heralded than this
one will be. Why should not Otta-
was experience be duplicated by lola?
This much at least is certain: If the
Camp Meeting this year is a success
the probabilities are that we will have
another next year, while if it is not a
success there are no such probabilities.
We hope no effort will be lacking on
the part of those who have it in their
power to materially aid in making it a
success.
Bro Scott, of the lola REGISTER, is dissatis-
fed with the action of the Chanute Band on the
Fourth. He says; ''The music was good enough
but there was not half enough of it.'' If guam
tity and not quality was what the committee
desired they should have hired couple Of
brawny blacksmiths to beat a triangle all day
The Chanute Band certainly didnot understand
that they were expected to toot their horns
constantly from the time they arrived in the
city until they left.-Chanute Blade.
Nor did the city of lola expect them
to. Itdid not expect them either to keep
silent from eleven O'Clock till six. It
did not expect to hear the leader tell
one of the marshals that "if you can
hunt the boys up we will give you
tune" And after a half dozen of the
boys were hunted up {the others hav-
ing disappeared) the city of lola was
somewhat surprised tosee them attempt
the artistic and gentlemanly feat of
smokin g cigarsand footing their hornsat
the same time. Our criticism in the first
place was general and very mild. But
we study to please and if the Blade
wants further details it can have them.
Probate Judge Arnold is again at
home in the court house, having re-
turned Monday into the old-which is
also the new-office. He will be fol-
lowed in a day or two by Mr.. Jacoby
and Miss Chamberlain and things will
be once more restored to the status quo
ante. The repairs to the court house
are practically completed as nothing
now remains to be done except little
painting and papering and the erection
of an awning. As result Of the work
that has been done the past three
months we now have a substantial,
thoroughly convenient and reasonably
handsome building, one that will serve
its purposes for many years. The court
rom is especially handsome, the pa
per and wood work displaying excel
lent taste.
A friend in Moran kindly sends us
the details Of an accident which occur
ed at that place on Tuesday the 18th
inst, by which VIM Ryan, one of the
section men on the Wichita road lost
Que or two of his toes. 1t seems that
the man had been at work near Mar
maton bridge and attempted to jump
on q moving engine and missed his
hold and fell so that the wheels passed
over his toes. DR.. Hendricks was sum-
moned and amputated the Injured
members and the man is now doing
well.
Judge L. Stillwell. and family, of
Erie, were over in Indian Greek town.
ship last week, visiting his aged par
ents. Mr.. and Mrs. J. o. Stillwell. The
Judge is very highly thought of in his
district, both as a gentleman and a
jurist, and will be his own successor on
the bench almost unanimously. He
comes honestly by his good qualities,
for his parents are among our most
highly respected citizens.-Colony
Free Press.
The rain on Tuesday seems to have
been extremely spotted" in this coun-
ty, being very heavy in some locali-
ties and extremely light in others. In
general it seems that the north half of
the county got pretty thoroughly
soaked while the south half received
little or no rain. There were areas,
too, where there was heavy hail, strip

At trial held before Judge Christy
last week little 4-year-old was intro
duced as witness. In order to learn
whether the child realized the nature
of an oath the Judge asked him if he
knew that it was wrong to lie. He re-
pliedpromptlythat he did. 'Ifyou should
tell a lie" the Judge continued, "what
